_ . tithe-rate had been paid by Mr. Galloway, the defendant's predecessor, since 1806. Mr. Bell commenced looking over the books in the large box. A host of gentlemen here pressed forward, and expressed a desire that their hearing might be postponed, in order that they might be defended by Counsel. Mr. LAIN (to Mr. Bell) —You see the hostility with which the Rector is met, and I should advise you to come here well prepared with Counsel. Mr. Bell promised to do so, and, after a private con ference (the Court being ordered to be cleared), he quitted the office with the large box of books, &c., in a hackney coach. QUEEN -SQUARE. A person very fashionably dressed, who gave his name George Stevenley, but whose real name was ascertained to be James Stanley, and who was stated to have been a ma gistrate for three counties, was charged with assaulting a police sergeant of the A division, named Adams. He was ordered to pay the penalty of 51., which was immediately done, by his drawing a cheque upon his bankers, Sir C. Scott and Co. UNION-HALL. William Mann, aged 45, was c harged with intermarry ing with Susan Lister, his first wife, aged sixty-five, being still alive. The complainant was married to the prisoner thirty years ago, at Beckingham, in Kent. Lately she ascertained that he was married to another, and on communicatini , with him on the subject, he had the im p udence to invite her (com plainant) borne, making a declaration that if she would live in peace with his secon wife he would do everything in his power to make both wives comfortable. She rejected the offer with scorn and proceeded against him for bigamy. The second wife refused to attend. A person named Fulton was present at the marriage of the prisoner with the second wife. The prisoner and com plainant lived unhappily together, owing to the disparity in their ages, the prisoner being only 15 and the complainant 30 when they were married. Witness was not present at their marriage. The complainant, who could scarcely re strain her feelings when her age was attested to, now ex claimed, 66 Fulton, speak the truth and shame the devil ; yen know that there is not such a difference in Mann's age and my own : you know well that I was a pretty tidy young body when I married him, but misfortune has made me look more than double my age." Mr. Ta AILL—IIo 7, old are you? Complainant—lt's rather a delicate question to put to a lady, your Worship, and I should rather decline a nswering - it at present. In answer to other questions she said she was determined to go on with the case. It was her duty to do so. The pri soner was then remanded, in order that the complainant might procure the register of her marriage, thirty years ago, and other evidence. WORSHIP STREET. Elizabeth Bush,; middle-aged woman, was charged with unlawfully pawning: the property of Messrs. Pigot and Co., at my clothiers. —The prisoner was remanded. THAMES OFFICE. Captain John Davidson, master of the collier brig Que bec, was charged with flogging a lad named Joseph Evans, his a pprentice. The particulars are not fit for insertion. The Court ordered the prisoner to find bail, himself in boot, and two sureties in 250/. each. He was then locked up. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Porch er. (From the Hampshire Teleqrapi.) PORTSMOUTH, JULY 30.—The Hermes steam-vessel, Lieutenant Blount, arrived at Falmouth on Tuesday, from the Mediterranean, with the mails, She left Corfu June 30, Fiscado July 1, Patras, July 1, Zante July 1, Malta July 9, Gibraltar July 17, and Cadiz July. 18. Among the passengers she brought home were Col. Vernon Graham ; Liiut. Cross 92d ; and Capt. Sheriff, Superintendent of the Port at Gibraltar. The Ceylon, receiving ship, was the only vessel lying at Malta, with the exception of the Par melia and Barossa transports, when the Hermes sailed. The fleet under Sir Josias Rowley were at Zante 'rine Barossa transport arrived at Malta on the Ist ult., from Gibraltar, with the 70th Regiment ; and the Par tuella on the :25th of June, from Cork, with the remainder of the 59th Regiment. The Prince Regent transport sailed on the 18th of June, with a detachment of the 53d Regiment, from Corfu. The Orestes and Chin, men-of war, were at Gibraltar, whence the Jasseur sailed on the 17th inst., on a cruise. The Malabar (which was to sail in :two days for England) and Mnicienne were at Cadiz. Tarte u, stearndr, Liautcuaut James, arrived at Gibral tar on the 13th instant. _ The 51, Capt. W. Fisher, sailed on Tuesday to join the squadron at Plymouth, under the command of Sir Pdge', anti than to proceed to the Mediterranean, to re have, it is unticv , tond, the Rodney, which is to return home to try her quali:l'.'s with the Vanguard and Bellerophon, ete. The squadron will accompany the Asia, on her voy age rut, to a distance at the discretion of Sir Charles Pa get, for the purpose of ascertaining her comparative rate of saif ng. The following letter from Devonport observes uptin the arrival or th squadron in that quarter "'De-,,urport, July 28. " c Channel squadron are here, consisting of ilellero phim, Pernroke, Hercules, Van4uard, Cornwallis, and d ; also the Russell, just returned from the coast of Spain. The five first-named ships. formed, I believe, the squadron from Portimeuth to tits port. The Sound is now a place of great rttrat the, ald-the merits of the ships a subject of much (ratio- , sit) , among all parties. From the time the ships left Spit. head it ti: pears that a feeling cf rivaiship soon manifested ' itselF, and it eere aoxioes for P ill. Ido not hear the par ticula.-s of the competition that has taken place among, these I , ut it is unive;., - ;.,ily believed that, with the exception of the the other 74's have decidedly beaten the Van gireeal. C,rta , n Sycaoadi was on board his own ship, but troni all I can lean he could make nothing of her to justify the vain etaneetatiOns cf his ini'attutted admirers. She has sent some o'f her ballast (about forty tons) on shore. I think the navel surveyor had better have limited his speculations to the toa7;.iment of his principle—the Vernon. He would have beat consulted own interest in having done so ; hut it would have bet' still saber in hint not to have exceeded the maxi mum of his rrin,iple—tint Pantaloon brig being evidently the c:ass of vessel , in whieb alone he can Ire considered to have Leon at all successful. The result of the attempt cf the Pique to triumph over Castor must have been a most mortifying afair to the in:nitivcs. Should the Inconstant, constructed by Captain Hayes, also throw Pique into the shade, what will the wise heads say? " P. S.—The Russell is coming into harbour as soon as the wind will permit, to make good some defects; and it is ex pected the sq:.wdran will sail to-morrow morning." The Thalia, 42, left Ascension en the 3lst May, to cruise in the Bights ; and the 'Pylades, IS, arrived at that isl:tnd on the 1.,t of dime,,from the Cape. The Athol' transport, Mr. Alexander Karley, Master, commanding, arrived to-day (in forty-seven hours) from the Cove of Cork, with the depot of the 47th Regiment of Foot, under the command of Major G. F. Sadlier. The Zebra, 18, left Hobart Town on the 4th of March for Otaheite ; the Winchester, 52, was at Bombay on the 24th March ; the Raleigh, 18 had been there, and the Ju piter, 35, was expected on the 2.2 d of that month. A rich native, Aga Mahommed Kahiar Sherazee, gave a splendid entertainment to toe Admiral and Governor ; 810 persons sat down to supper.' The Galatea, which has been fitting at this port as a coal depot for the West Indies, is to proceed to Plymouth to complete her equipment and take in coals. The Buffalo, which sailed on Tuesday for South Aus tralia, returned to St. Helen's Roads this morning, driven back by westerly winds. 'rho Partridge tender sailed on Thursday to join Sir Charles Paget's squadron. The Bonetta, Lieut.. Deschamps, sails to-morrow morning (Sunday) for the African station.

By the report of all the ships in the squadron the Bellerophon in a most decided manner beat the Van guard in all points of sailing in their way down from Spit head ; even the Pembroke had some small advantage over her. The Vanguard is to take out 40 tons of ballast. To enable this ship to keep her station she was obliged to carry a heavier press of sail than either of the others. The Herm es steamer arrived on Tuesday from Falmouth. She is getting her defects made good, and will take out the next Mediterranean mail. A detachment from the depot of the 29th has embarked in the Stirling freight ship, to join the service companies at the Mauritius. On Tuesday the Nautilus, 10, went out of harbour and sailed to Malta. The Russell, 74, Captain Sir W. Dillon, arrived to-day from Lisbon, after a tedious passage of 19 days. On her way from Vigo Bay to the Tagus she was taken a back in a back in a squall, and; lost her main-top mast, three top-gallant m as t s an d sma ll er s p ars . She made the signal, to come into harbour this afternoon to refit, but from the wind falling she wa s una bl e . Th e B raz ili a n cor vette, Segundo de Julia, 28, Captain Ripaso, arrived to day from Rio Janeiro ; she saluted the garrison and the Admiral with 21 guns, which was returned. The Savage, 10, Lieutenant Loney, was paid off on Saturday ; and the Plover packet yesterday. The Alban steamer sailed to day for the West Indies. The Imogene, 28, Captain Brice, is in foward equipment, and will sail shortly for South America, and not to relieve the Castor, as was re ported. PROMOTIONS AND APPOINTMENTS.LiQUt.

Captain Drinkwater is to have the command of the Con way, on that ship being commissioned, at this port. The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland has conferred the ho nour of Knighthood on Commander H. E. Atkinson (of the Coast Guard), as a mark of respect for his attention on the occasion of steering his Excellency and Lady, in a six-oared barge, up and down the Blackwater River (on their visit to Youghall), one of the most intricate and dan- gerous rivers in Ireland. Additional recruiting parties of the Royal Marines are ordered out from the several divisions, as follows :—One from this division to Oxford ; a second from Chatham to Woburn and neighbourhood ; another from Plymouth to Barnstaple ; and a fourth from Woolwich to Norwich. The standard for recruits is lowered half an inch ; the age to be from eighteen to twenty-five years. WARRANT OFFICERS.—The gunners, boatswains, and carpenters in ordinary, are in future to be borne upon the books of the senior Captain's ship, and a list of each class fit for the service is to be kept. They are then to be di vided in three classes, as follows :—lst class, those who have held warrants for ships of the line ; 2d ditto, fourth and fifth rates ; 3d ditto, 6th rates and sloops. Pay of the first' class to be that of warrant officers of second rates, viz., 911. 55., when in commission, and 761. 6s. when out of commission. Pay of the second class (hereafter to in clude warrant officers of sixth rates) to be that at present allowed to fourth rates, 711. ss. 2d. in commission, and 56/.65. when out of commission. Pay of third class to be that of warrant officers of sixth rates and sloops, 611.55. 4d. in commission, and 461.65. out of commission. Tool money to carpenters as heretofore. Although immediately to be divided into classes the alteration of pay will not operate until the officer is called into commission service in the class to which he belongs, or until established in the class which is to be effected by reduction of the present lists to a certain number : but where officers hold a higher rate of pay than is assigned by the new arrangement, they will be allowed to retain it. Mode of Advancement.—Every death or superannuation from Ist or 2d rates present pay, and every two deaths or superannuation from 3d rates pay, one officer to be ad vanced from pay of 3d rates to the pay of a first class. Every death or superannuation from 4th rates, and for every two deaths or two superannuations from sth rates, one officer from-sth rates pay to the pay of the 2d class. Warrant officers on 6th rates and sloops' pay to remain on the 3d class pay until advanced to higher class. Com manders-in-chief, on foreign stations, to retain the power of promoting to death vacancies under their commands. The Lords of the Admiralty also reserve to themselves the power of promoting deserving characters to the 3d class, and of advancing from lower to higher classes merito rious characters. In future sea time only will be al mittcd to warrant officers, in the calculation of their time for-superannuation. Mr. Brown, Master Attendant at Woolwich Dockyard, has been superannuated upon 3801., per annum, and is suc ceeded by Mr. Tcignmouth ; Mr. Louthean succeeds Mr. Payne (superannuated) as First Master Attendant at Chatham. Mr. Walker is reappointed to the situation of Second Master Attendant at Plymouth, with the increased pay. Mr. Gaze, First Master Attendant at Sheerness, has received a new appointment to that office under the new regulation, but retaining his former salary, with the under standing that his period of service will be only calculated up to the present time for superanuation. ( From the Devonport 7elegraph.) The Comas sloop of war, Captain Hamilton, arrive.? here on Thursday from the Havannala which she left on the 23d June last, touching at Tampico, where she was detained three weeks, in consequence of a requisition from the British Consul and merchants, to protect their properly, in the struggle between the Texicans and Mexicans. While lying off Tampico, she lost an officer and two of her i cre,v, by the upsetting of a boat, in crossing the bar. On the boat's going over, two of the crew clung to the bottom, but. Mr., Charles Ross Price, mate, and nephew of Captain Superintendent Ross, of this Dock-yard, and the other two of the crew, named John Aisliton and Henry Baker, were drowned. The two men who were saved were 36 hours in the water, and drifted 15 miles outside land, when they were again driven ashore by a change in the wind to N.B. The Thisbe arrived at Luna from Italy 30th Jan., and sailed 11th for Valparaiso ; Blonde arrived at ditto from Italy 19th March ; Curlew arrived at Sierra Leone from River Gambia, 21-th May ; Spey brig arrived at Barba dos from Falmouth, 15th June ; Favourite sloop, sailed from Constantinople for Tripoli 29th June ; Scorpion brig, arrived at Lisbon from Falmouth, 12th July ; Thalia sloop, sailed from St. Helena, 18th May ; Reindeer was spoken with, 4th July, off Cape Antonio. Lieut. Grove, of the Royal Danish Navy, and Mr. Fudge, Master Builder in the Danish service, arrived here on Monday last from Portsmouth, where they have bet n for some weeks past, and were permitted to inspect the Dock-yard. Both these gentlemen arc naval architects, and are allowed to visit this country for the purpose of im proving themselves in the art of ship-building. In Hamoaze.—Royal Adelaide, Imogene, Fly, Hermes, Sheldrake, Magnet, Hope, Emerald tender, Drake and Rochester lights. In the Sound Bellerophon ' Vanguard, Cornwallis, Pembroke, Minden, Hercules, Russell, Comus, Sterling freight ship, and Brazilian corvette. Colonel Sir Robert Dick, K.C.H., 42d Royal High landers, has subscribed 101. to the funds of the next Ply mouth regatta. The Prince of Oldenburg and Prince of Witgenstcin (from Germany) arrived here on Saturday last, and in the afi,ernoon visited the Dock-yard, where they were received by CoMmissioner Ross and the principal officers. After inspecting the various departments of the establishment, with which they expressed themselves highly'gratified, they took their leave, much pleased with the attention shown them. In the evening their Royal Highnesses dined at Whiddon's Royal Hotel, and afterwards proceeded in a travelling carriage and four for Exeter and Portsinouth. A detachment of the 36th regt., consisting of 1 captain, 2 subalterns, and 50 men, marched from this Garrison on Wednesday morning last for Okchampton, to aid the civil power in suppressing the riotous conduct of the misguided labouring poor, who had assembled in large numbers and blocked up the approaches of the town. They had also set fire to a barn and farm-house, but fortunately the latter was preserved from destruction. The turbulent disposition of the labourers in the Okehainpton district has existed for some time, and originated in their hostility to the New Poor Law Bill. A police force was sent down from London about six weeks since to restore order, but they had no sooner left than fresh disturbances broke out, and the pre sence of the military is rendered necessary. The following is a copy of the Minute issued by Captain- Superintendent Ross, C.B. after the late fire at Plymouth : " Adverting to the destructive fire which took place at Plymouth, on the morning of Sunday, the 17th instant, I cannot refrain from expressing my high commendation of ,the alacrity, exertion, and steadiness of Lieut. Williams and the Police force of the Dock-yard, as well as the por tion of the Dock-yard Guard which accompanied them to the fire. I have now had several opportunities of wit nessing the conduct of the Police Force, in aiding to subdue fires in the neighbourhood, and I am so fully satisfied of the value of their services, and steadiness of conduct, upon such occasions, as to feel them entitled to my best thitnks. (Signed) C. B. H. ROSS. The Director of Police, Plymouth-Yard." The following general order was also issued by Major Gen. Sir Willoughby Cotton on the same occasion :—" The Major-General commanding the Western District, has great pleasure in communicating to the garrison that he has received, from the Mayor and corporation of Plymouth, the most unqualified acknowledgement of the eminent service rendered by the troops, at the distressing fire which broke out on Sunday morning last." Sir W. Cotton begs to add to this strong testimonial on the part of the inhabitants, his own high sense of the good conduct and successful exertions of the military on this occasion. We regret to hear that Sir C. Greville is danger ously ill, owing to a cold caught in going through the Tunnel on the Liverpool Railroad. THEODORE HOOK'S " SAYINGS AND DOINGS. In a neat volume, for six shillings, with embellishments, the entire First Series of Mr. Hook's " Sayings and Doings" is now presented to the public in " Colburn's Modern /4 ovelists." It may not, perhaps, be generally known that the plan of these brilliant tales is to illustrate a number of well-known proverbs, each by one story ; exemplifying the " wise saws" of our an cestors by " modern instances." Our author's " instances" are, indeed, eminently entitled to be called " modern ;" being, in fact, the detail of actual events, and the display of real characters, roost of whom actually exist, and are living wit nesses to the truth of Mr. Hook's portraits. Sunday se'nnight, as Lord Wharncliffe was going up the Thames in his yacht, the Romulus, his Lordship was knocked overboard, opposite Gravesend, by the boom when jibbing, and narrowly escaped drowning. The dingy attached to the vessel was instantly manned ; but it was not until addi tional assistance came from the shore that his Lordship was picked up. He was in an exhausted state, but he shortly re covered from the ill effects of the accident. SHIPWRECK. LOSS OF LIFE AT LIVERPOOL. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY EVENING.—During the last few days the weather in this neighbourhood has been as severe and the cold as keen as though it were the beginning of winter. Smart breezes, increasing sometimes to a gale, have been more or less prevalent during the past month, and have prevented outward-bound vessels putting to sea. For a fortnight previous to Tuesday last not a single vessel had been able to leave the port. On the morning of Tuesday last the wind veered round to the south-east, which enabed upwards of a hundred and fifty wind-bound ships to get away. Since, then, however, the wind, more or less, has been blowing from the -westward, with heavy squalls. Last night it blew particularly fresh, mingled with sleet and rain. The wind continued to increase in violence as the period of high water approached—about eleven o'clock P.M. Several vessels rounded the rock about that hour, and among others making the attempt to get into port was the John Welsh, laden with cotton and dyewood, from Sava nilla. In doing this she unfortunately struck on a bank op posite Hoylake, near the mouth of the river Dee, a few miles from the entrance to the Mersey. The calamity was either unknown to the persons residing on the coast, or, if known, no available assistance could be rendered until the following morning. The work of devastation had been making terrific ravages in the meantime, the whole of the crew, including the master, whose name was Woodhouse, having been engulfed by the storm. When the life-boat pushed off to her at three in the morning, only two per sons, out of a crew of fourteen, were found surviving. These were immediately relieved from their perilous situa tion, and every necessary attention was paid to their comfort and recovery. They still exist, and may probably recover, although the lite of one of them is considered to be in very imminent peril. The following letter, from an eye-witness, details the particulars of the distressing ca. amity " Hoylake, Saturday morning. " I am sorry to inform you of the loss of the John Welsh, Thomas Woodhouse, from the Spanish main, with a cargo of dyewood, at ten P. as. yesterday. We found several casks washed up on the coast between the Light-ship and Hoylake. This morning we saw the vessel on her beam ends near Old Hoyle bank, close to the lake, and about three-quarters of a mile from the land. At three o'clock A. M. I sent the life boat, not knowing a boat had been previously dispatched to her assistance. The latter boat brought away two men alive. One of them, John Rosdon, is almost perished. We are using every means to restore life. The other man is Peter Deve rick, who is out of danger, and has been enabled to take some refreshment. lam sorry to say that the master and all the crew have found a watery grave. None of the cargo is washed out at present, and I hope, if the weather prove fine, a part of it may be saved." SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY ) (FROM LLOYD'S.)

An Englishman has lately arrived at I,Vurzburg, (in Bavaria) with the intention of purchasing 1,500 live foxes, to convey them to England. He is said to have received this commission from some lovers of the chase in his country. The Earl of Sheffield, Lord Alvanley, Lord and Lady Newark and Family, Count Shevaloff, Col. Gibbs, Capt. Morton, and other persons of distinction, took their departure for Antwerp yesterday in the General Steam Navigation Cora pativ'a Steam Ship Soho. ItOYAL SPORTS.—Louis the Eleventh ordered the Abbot of Baigne, a wan of great wit, and who had a knack at inventing new musical instruments, to get him a concert of swiees' voices, thinking it impossible. The Abbot accordingly mustered up a number of hogs of several ages, and placed them under a pavilion covered with velvet (before which he had a sound-board, painted, with a certain number of keys), thus making an organ ; and as he played on the keys with little spikes which pricked the hogs, he made them cry in such tune aad concert as highly delighted the King and his Court. The crops in Caithness of all kinds, never looked better than they do this year, and the price of cattle is very high, in consequence of so many being sent so the London market, partly by steamers, and partly by vessels carrying flag stones for pavement, which has become a great and prosperous trade of late. Mr. Shaman Crawford, in his letter to Mr. O'Con nell, complains that the interests of the humblest class of his countrymen have been neglected—that having the power Mr. O'Connell has neglected to employ means for improving their condition. In another part of his letter he says—" I com plain, Sir, that the interests of the poor man—l mean the mass of the community—have been hitherto totally and un justly disregarded ; that the poor have been made use of for the purposes of promoting the objects of the higher classes— of creating political power for their superiors—and that no return has been made to them in any shape or form. . . . I do not blame the Government ; I respectfully state you have the power. If you do not make the demands which ought to be made on her part—if you do not insist upon these demands —if you agree to compromises of her claims—on you, Sir, the responsibility rests, and not upon the Government. The peo ple are willing to back you ; they are willing to endure any sufferings at your bidding. The endurance would be short, the victory would be certain—the victory, not by violence, but by constitutional means. You have brought your country to the threshhold of British freedom and British rights ; nothing but the retreat of her leader can prevent Ireland mounting her banner alongside of the standard of England." THIEVES AT THE COLOSSEUM. Several rob beries have recently, in spite of every precaution which could be thought of, taken place at the Colosseum, and on Friday information was forwarded to the various police-offices, setting forth that a few days ago a handsome bronze medallion, the face of the Duke of Wellington, in a small black frame, and glazed, was stolen from the saloon of arts at the above-named place. A reward has been offered for its recovery. On Tuesday afternoon, about three o'clock, much alarm and uneasiness was excited in the New-road, near the Regent's-park, by a gentleman who was seen seated in a handsome gig with a young lady by his side ; the former, evidently in a state of intoxication, was driving along at a reckless rate, notwithstanding the shrieks of the young lady, who appeared much terrified. After many persons had nar rowly escaped being run over, the gig at length was over turned by coming in violent contact with a cart. Both the lady and gentleman were precipitated into the road, the for mer under the cart wheel, which passed partly over her, bruising her person in a most serious manner, but the latter, through whose culpability the accident occurred, fortunately escaped with a few bruises. The young lady was lifted from the ground, and carried in a state of insensibility to the near est house, where surgical assistance was procured, when it was found that some of her ribs were fractured, and it was feared that she had received serious, if not fatal, internal injuries. The gentleman was questioned as to who he was, when he replied that he lived at St. John's-wood, that the young lady was his niece, but he refused to give his name. He was, to gether with the horse and chaise, ultimately consigned into the bands of two policemen of the S division. MADRID. JULY 19.—The ministry reckon the returns of seventeen provinces in their favour at present. Among these are Segovia, Cuencla, Guadaluara, Valladolid, Palencia, Avila, Valencia, Leon, Cordova, Almeria, Seville. As the elec toral law here, in imitation of the French, requires that a candidate shall be returned by an absolute majority of the electors, that is more than half their number , it will happen in many parts that second elections will become necessary with reference to those candidates who are not supported by more than half. This re-election applies only to the particular candidates so circumstar.ced. The military news is by no means satisfactory. Cordova returned to Vittoria on the 13th. Private letters from that quarter state that the inhabitants are quite tired of having to support so many troops. In Madrid we have not the slightest intimation of the plans of the commander in-chief. His blockade system seems to have turned out an utter failure, and as yet he has not had time to organise another. His best friends are getting impatient at his in- action. The rebel force under Don Basilio, who entered Soria lately, have left that province, taking the direction of Alma zan ; from which place to San Ildefonso, where the Court is now located, there is a chain of mountains. At San Ildefonso there are 1,200 troops belonging to the Royal Guards, the best corps in the service. As Don Basilio has at least 1,000 infantry and 200 horse with him, it has not been thought advisable to leave the Court with so small a force ; and yesterday a column of 1,500 1,000 of whom belong to the Queen's own regiment of rifles, left Madrid, taking the (Election of Siguenza and Medinaceli. From Galicia there is no recent intelligence. From Valencia it appears that Cabrera was threatening Murvie dro, a place of great force, commanding the whole plain in which the city of Valencia is situated. Banos has been again visited by the rebels : and Cuenca, it appears, has also been the scene of the atrocities of a numerous force of the Carlist .banditti. It is said that the Queen's General, Lopez, has been surprised by this party ; but this wants confirmation. Mr. Villiers will leave Madrid for La Granja on Friday next. All persons not compelled by their occupations or other ties to remain here, take their departure for the more temperate atmosphere of San Ildefonso at this time of the year. The thermometer this day at five o'clock p.m. was at 108 Fahrenheit in the shade ; at twelve o'clock it was at 98 ; and at seven in the morning 84. The Nacional of this evening, states that the courier which left Gerona for Figueras, in Catalonia, lately, al though escorted by sixty National Guards, was attacked in the neighbourhood of the latter place, by 400 Carlists. The Nationals retreated to a house, in which they defended themselves with the utmost intrepidity for some time, but the miscreants who besieged them having set fire to the building, the) were obliged to sally out, when they 'were all taken, and presently put to death by having their throats cut. This mode of inflicting death is becoming a favourite practice with the barbarians. It has been remarked that the Governor of Figueras, who has a strong garrison- in the impregnable fortress which he commands, did not move, as he might have done, to the relief of the attacked party. The Government has announced through the Gazette that the Post-office courier who left the capital for Anda lusia on the 15th was stopped on the 17th by the rebel Pallitos, at the head of 25 men, who broke open his mail bags, setting fire to the whole correspondence, with the exception of that directed to Cadiz and Seville, which they carried away with them. The couriers from Sanzan der and Bilboa have been frequently stopped of late, and travelling generally upon the roads of Spain is becoming more dangerous every day. At Burgos, on the 13th, was shot Domingo Dominiquez, a robber of the first order, who had kept the inhabitants in so much terror by his frequent assassinations and rob beries that they scarcely dared to go the distance of a stone's throw from the gates of the town, excepting in nu merous parties, well armed. He commanded a party of freebooters in the name of Charles the Fifth. SAN SEBASTIAN. GENERAL ORDER, July 23. In the General Order of the 4th instant, the Lieutenan General stated the circumstance of seven officers who claimed to resign their commissions and retire with a gra- . tuity of half a year's pay, on the ground of having served one year with the Legion, alleging that the conditions of service entitled them to this option, the Lieutenant-General not having any power to decide on such a claim, referred it for the consideration of Government, and having been ho noured with the following, reply, he loses no time in publish ing it for the information of those officers and men who may have entertained this impression. " The Government of her Christian Majesty have heard with lively feelings of regret, that the officers in question should have given to the terms of their contract an interpre tation so different from that of the Government, who dis tinctly understood that no officer was entitled to resign at the expiration of one year, unless his intention of so doing had been duly specified at the time of entering the service. And further, that if the Government had not conceived that this reciprocal understanding existed, it would have been their duty to ascertain, before the expiration of the twelve months, the number of officers who proposed to avail themselves of the pri% liege, in order to make such arrange ments as circumstances and the Queen's service might ren der expedient. No such arrangements have been made, because it was not known to the Government that any officers had made the specification in question as to time. If, however, there are officers who really made a specific agreement for one year on entering, the Government will offer no opposition to their availing themselves of the stipulation, however much the loss of their services might be regretted. Nevertheless her Majesty's Government entertain a conviction that other and higher motives than the right or wrong interpretation of a contract would induce the officers in question to reconsider their intention of resigning. " It is farther observed, on the part of her Majesty's Go vernment, that they, in common with this country at large, have looked upon the officers of the British Legion as vo lunteers in the great cause of Constitutional freedom, and that they were now, as their brave countrymen in former days, engaged in a struggle for the overthrow of oppres sion and despotism in a country bound by so many ties to England, and with which to British soldiers so many glorious associations are connected ; declaring, there fore, that they should be slow to believe that En glish officers or soldiers would voluntarily leave their task uncompleted, and abandon the posts so recently, acquired by their valour, at a moment the most critical of the war—at a moment when the Queen and the nation were looking to them with gratitude and with hope, when the Government bad, in the midst of unequal difficulties effectually provided for the remedy of their just grounds of complaints as well as against the recurrence of them—at a moment, in short, when the services of the Legion were best appreciated and most required. The Government could not think that, even were the terms of the contract those which it was sincerely believed they were not, the British officers would pursue a course so prejudicial to the cause they have adopted, or that they would now relax in those efforts which have been so gloriously commenced, and which have shed such lustre upon British arms." Such is the decision of her Majesty's Government on this subject ; and it seeming it might be satisfactory also to submit the matter for the judgment of his Britannic Ma jesty's Ambassador in this country, the Lieutenant-General is informed by the British Ambassador that his opinion is precisely in unison with that of the Spanish Government as above stated. It is clear from the above that any officers who should attempt to absent themselves from this force, unless they have made an express agreement for a limited service of one year, or unless they shall have the sanction of Government for doing so, will be considered by Government as having forfeited all right to gratuity or advantage of any kind re sulting from the conditions ; and also all right to any ar rears of pay, which may be due to them, besides being liable to such other penalty as military law or circumstances may admit. The Lieutenant-General has himself no more interest in this matter than any other individual of the Legion, except ing that, as senior officer of it for the time being, he feels more anxious for the honour, respectability, and prosperity of the corps generally than any other person can do ; and he has no doubt that any insubordination on this subject, or any attempt to oppose, in the slightest degree, the just and reasonable decision of the Government which he publishes in this order (an attempt, the least reflection must show, would prove abortive), he repeats that any insubordination or unmilitary conduct could not but be injurious to the honour, the respectability, and prosperity of the whole corps, and still more so to the individuals guilty of such conduct. " In like manner, any attempt of one part of our body to abandon or divide itself from the rest, could not but be dis creditable and injurious to the whole body, and this per haps at the instigation of some few interested individuals who may have personal or unworthy motives of their own for thus endeavouring to abandon their comrades, disgrace themselves, and disturb good discipline. The •Lieutenant- General therefore strongly warns the good, the gallant, and well-disposed soldier, against any such designing and ill conditioned persons, who should not for a moment be lis tened to, and who will not escape detection. The Government, however, as the Lieutenant-General anticipated, will cheerfully give leave to any to retire, and with the gratuity proportioned to their -service, who can bring any proof to show that they specified on entering the service that they desired to serve only for one year ' • and, as the Lieutenant-General is informed that there maybe some few regiments, who are so situated, he hereby directs that the three senior officers of every regiment and corps will, without delay, form themselves into a committee of inquiry to receive any claims of agreement for limited service which may be made, and where any testimony in support of the claims can be given, verbal or written, the most liberal con struction will be given to it, and the date of enlistment or en gagement of each individual so situated will be taken down, and a report made on the subject. But even if there should be persons so situate they will not receive any arrcar or gratuity until after those who arc still gallantly serving are provided for. The Government declare their earnest determination in their letter contained in this order to perform their part, namely, to provide faithfully the pay, rations, and clothing of the troops. The Lieutenant-General fully believes that every exertion is making to this end ; and it is his unceas ing effort, by his representations, as is well known, to pro vide, as far as in his power, for all the wants of the Le gion. The rations are at present good, arrangements for bringing up arrears of pay are made, and the annual cloth ing is about to be sent from England ; and the Lieutenant- General is determined, so far as depends on him, that a complete settlement, and payment of all balances up to the end of the year shall be made, so as to obtain more regu larity for the future. And after all, it is probably but for a finv mouths now that the Spanish Government will require the services of the Legion ; for the Lieutenant-General hereby expects intelligence of the total destruction of the rebel column, which haS had the temerity to advance towards Galicia, and which has been incessantly pursued by General Espar tero nearly 300 miles. This will render available for the vigorous prosecution of the war in these provinces twenty or thirty additional battalions. Thus a' most decided mo ral and military result must ensue, which may bring the war to a much more rapid and triumphant close than the weak minded or discontented have expected. The LicutenantsGeneral has only to add, that he is authorised to state that crosses of merit for the glorious action of the sth of May are now in course of being manu factured in England, and it is expected will be completed and ready to be conferred in two or three weeks hence. This is a decoration which every soldier of sense and honour, who may be so fortunate as to receive it, will justly prize to the latest hour of his life. The commanding officers of corps and departments will please to make out nominal lists of all under their respec tive command, who may have the requisite claim to this distinction, and will forward the same to the Adjutant- General's office. Double rations of, meat and wine will be issued to morrow to the Legion, on account of the anniversary of her Majesty the Queen Regent. By command, (Signed) OLIVE DE LANCEY, Deputy- Adjutant-General. BRIGHTON RAILROAD. The Proprietors of the Railroad without a Tunnel have cir culated the following " Medical Reasons," independent of su perior engineering and other grounds, for. recommending the Brighton Railroad without Tunnels to the adoption of the public. Extracted from the evidence of gentlemen, eminent in science and of great professional experience, given before the Committee of the House of Lords on Tuesday, the 26th of July : " Sir Anthony Carlisle, Vice-President of the College of Surgeons, &c., has been a public practitioner about 44 years. " The difference of temperature in tunnels will expose persons in health to the common affection notoriously termed catching cold, the source of other disorders On persons of weak constitutions, or who are invalids, passing through a tunnel will cause more striking and more remarkable effects Would not permit one of my patients to go to Brighton by a railway that had a tunnel in it. . • • Certainly would dissuade any patient from subjecting himself to such perils lt is impossible to change the atmosphere in a tunnel six hundred yards long The air is a commixture, with other gaseous substances : it is also a damp air.' On cross-examination, 'The transition Would endanger a person, even during the duration of one minute. I have known a person become erysipelatic from a minute's exposure-to the air. I say that in the transit of only one minute he is in peril, and I would not so expose myself.' Re-examined—' Sulphuretted, earburctted, and carbonic . gases, would be emitted from the burning of coke ; and the vapour of the steam would be condensing, and would keep the atmosphere damp, with effluvia of passengers, &c. ; so that a quantity of stationary or stagnant air would remain im pregnated with poisonous gases ; it might be with scarlet fever, or the small-pox.' And there must be a progressive accumulation of unwholesome or unsafe atmosphere within the tunnel I know a minute is quite sufficient to produce cata'•rh I would not send a person with diseased lungs through a tunnel lt would be a great public benefit to have a railroad conveyance for invalids without a tunnel.' " Dr. James Johnson, one of the Physicians of his Ma- jesty, of eighteen years' practice. " The difference of temperature in a tunnel (such as on Stephenson's line) would be upwards of twenty degrees. . . . . Would not advise any person of delicate health to travel through it lt would very often be inju rious, because we seldom have a vicissitude equal to that in a whole day ; and we know that the vicissitudes of tempera ture, and drought, and moisture, are the chief causes of pul monary complaints, and many other, such as rheumatisms and erysipelas is sometimes produced by it The reverberation would be tremendous with a locomotive engine, and give a very great shock to delicate people Would not send persons liable to' affections in the heart or head through these tunnels Would not send a delicate lady by a railroad of this sort. . . . . Nor a lady in a state of pregniincy ; would advise her not to go by it There would be a very considerable inconve nience from the heat of the engine, independently of any gas, or any deleterious atmospl'ere I think it impos sible to alter the temperature.' " Dr. A. Todd Thompson, another eminent Physician, and high medical authority, Professor of Materia Modica to the London University, thirty-five years' practice. " Thinks the change of temperature, "in passing through the tunnels, would be extremely injurious to persons of suscep-. tible habits, to dyspeptics, to convalescents from disease, to persons affe:ned with 1 ti'monary complaints. . . • • • • Would not, as far his influence extended, permit patients to go to Brighton by a tunnel railroad.' " Dr. Augustus Sayer, a Physician of fifteen years' practice. " For invalids, tunnel travelling would be decidedly preju dicial Would produce colds and rheumatic complaints.' " John Propert, Esq., a General Practitioner, in extensive practice more than twenty years. " The change (of temperature in tunnels) would be trying to all ; but certainly more so to those who are susceptible, or to others suffering from any complaint The burning of coke, or coal, is very prejudicial to health gene rally ; but more so when confined within the walls of a tun nel A tunnel never could be made perfectly clear of noxious air, arising from the passage of the steam carriage Should decidedly objects to patients travelling through a tunnel The impression that might be made by half a minute, or a minute, might be equal, in a debilitated constitution, to the effect produced in half an hour Has known instances of persons having caught so severe a cold from change of temperature that they have lost their life Would prefer any way to that by tunnels.' "'Edward Clervin Griffiths, in exensive general practice twenty-four years. "' Would not send invalids to travel by a railroad in which there were tunnels. _ _ Went through one last year between Whitstable and Canterbury ; and, from experience, declares it would be extremely dangerous to a person in deli cate health.' . . . . The cold was very severe, and af fected the skin and eyes.' " Other witnesses—medical gentlemen, professors of che mistry, &c.—were present to be called, but the foregoing was deemed sufficient. " For these very conclusive and irrefragable reasons against tunnels, on aroad chiefly intended for passengcrs,,it i 3 humbly conceived that the report of their Lordship? Committee will be in favour of the line which is free from such cogent objec tions." MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—On Thursday evening was married by special licenso, by the Rev. H. Blunt, at the house of Sir Michael and Lady Shaw Stewart, in Port land-place, his Grace the Duke of Somerset to Miss Shaw Stewart. The bride was splendidly attired. A sumptuous dinner was given by Sir M. and Lady Stewart to a select number of the relatives and friends of the families, and in the evening a few more were invited to be present at the marriage ceremony ; immediately after which his Grace and his fair bride set off for Wimbledon Park. Those invited on this happy occasion were—The Marquis of Queensberry, the Mar quis of Hertford, the Marquis and Marchioness of Downshire, the Earl and Countess of Clarendon, the Earl and Countess of Morley, the Earl and Countess of Manvers, Lord and Lady Seymour, Lords Arthur and Marcus Hill, Lord Abinger, the Hon.

NORTH NORTHAMPTONSHIRE CONSERVATIVE DINNER.--KETTERING, JULY 29.—The members of the Con servative Association of this division of the county of North. ampton dined together at the White Hart, Kettering, in a spacious booth erected for the purpose. About 300 gentlemen .of the county sat down to dinner, among whom were the Hon. Colonel Stopford (Chairman), the Earl of Winchilsea, and Mr. T. P. Maunsell, M. P. for the Northern Division ; the Hon. and Rev. Finch Hatton ; the Hon. and Rev. B. Stop ford ; the Rev. Herbert Marsh, son of the Bishop of the diocese ; the Very Rev. the Dean of Peterborough ; Mr. A. Young, Colonel Cathcart, Mr. Boughton Leigh, &c. MISERY.—On Saturday, the 9th current, a lonely woman, with a child in her arms not more than a year old, called at the house of Mr. Nivison, farmer, and very modestly craved a lodging for the night—a request which was readily and charitably granted. The mother herself seemed of the age of thirty • and her speech, manner, and appea rance alto gether, plaidy indicated that her's was no common misery, al though obviously of those who have seen better days. On Sunday morning, Miss Nivison inquired of the servant if she bad seen the poor woman, and on being answered in the nega tive, with the touching addition that the child had been heard crying early in the morning, instantly repaired to where she s.ept, and found the wanderer dead, with the baby behind her resting on its face, and fast asleep. —Dumf . , ies Courier.
